Welcome, Wizards

TheSportingSnarf is a website dedicated to the enjoyable, humorous, and nuanced aspects of the sporting and (to a lesser extent) pop-culture world. We attempt to touch upon (in varying degrees of print/video length) engaging topics which are not discussed nearly enough.

We'd love for you to give us your perspective, network, and participate regularly. But if you'd just like to join in on the mob-mentality and get all sanctimonious on a particular sports figure -- head on over to ESPN.com. (Mickey Mouse welcomes you.) Or you can keep it real with us.

I was getting really sick of people wasting our time after Peyton finally just won his Super Bowl… people will do anything to try and bring a G down – they pop out of the woodwork when you win, no where to be seen before! This idiotic Denver Post writer went way to far, so […]

I think we still have some unfinished business. Take your time to let your body heal and make a clear-headed conscious choice. I respect how brutal a game it is, but you and Matthew Stafford are the dream team. I’d be hard pressed not to at least give it one more shot. Martha Ford is […]

With stellar defense from start to finish (and a sheriff under center), the underdog Denver Broncos completed the dream season with a 24-10 victory on Super Bowl Sunday. Lady Gaga clearly rattled Carolina with her sexiness, broadcasting one helluva national anthem to boot. They elected, despite being a high-scoring, 1st half team, to kickoff after […]
